How do you disable Tidal auto startup?

Have you looked in user settings > startup items?

Yes, I did.

I think I figured out a solution. I’ll let you know after next login.

Solution:

From Terminal:

===>launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.tidal.desktop.plist

There’s a check box hidden away in the settings someplace. I’ve turned off in the past. I just can’t specifically remember where, I think in the user account area. I’m no longer a subscriber so I can’t find it for you.

In Tidal app…go to Settings —> Account —> Scroll Down —> Open Tidal upon Startup —> No

That’s exactly what I was looking for, thanks!

This setting doesn’t work. Whenever I restart my mac Tidal starts again, regardless of this setting.

Tidal is a bit stubborn. Set the setting to No and remove Tidal from System Prefences > Users & Groups > User > Login Items.

Go to Settings.

At the bottom of the Streaming tab you will have the option to say No to auto launch.
